F/A-18C Modern MPD v 2.1.54 - Updated 25/4/2025
CapnCoke replied to CapnCoke's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
That's a weird request for the HUD to be black but sure I can guide you. In "Your Mod Manager Folder\FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" go to materials.lua in line 36 change MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {2, 255, 20, 450}} to MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD] = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {0, 0, 0, 450}} I think that will make the HUD black. I'd give you the steps but I have no knowledge in editing those.- 208 replies

It will take some time and a lot of trial and error to get something like that to work. You can take a look of CJS Superhornet and see if you can replace the exterior model with the default hornet. Rename it to F18C Hornet Swiss.- 208 replies

Hi. Sorry I've taken a long break. Took a look at it and yes it does seem that using JHMCS II, the text and symbology is too thick that it makes it look blurry. Something has changed and I got to take a deeper look. You mean the color of the hud to jhmcs? Yes in "FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" in materials.lua go to line 103 and change the three numbers to {2, 255, 20, 550}- 208 replies

Possible fix for DCS BIOS keybinding issues when using JHMCS II thanks to Bones1775. Deactivate JHMCS II then Place this devices.lua in "Your Mod Manager Folder\F18C JHMCS II\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" Then activate JHMCS II. Check if keybinds work and JHMCS II Nvg still turns on. devices.lua- 208 replies

That's a good way to start and pretty much how I approached when I created this mod. Unfortunately as far as I know these kind of color switch is hardcoded. I can confirm it in Materials.lua there's only one line for IFEI color which is white and there's no night variation for it. Also the way how my mod works is overriding the color after the original color is applied and there's nothing I can find in IFEI lua files that checks for Nightmode. I think the best solution would be to use something like (in short) "IF time night then use mdg green" and it will apply green but won't be able to switch back to white. That will be ok since I don't think youll be in a mission long enough to be daylight maybe at most till sunrise or starting at sunset but it will still be considered dark. Only issue is I'm not sure how to check for time state atm.- 208 replies

Not possible. If I'm able to create profiles, it wouldn't work as the lua have to be reloaded either by exiting and entering the plane with alt+J or respawning. Now maybe if I find the line that checks if it's night and automatically go to nightmode then use if statements that could work but then I'll have people asking me how to get white colors back for night missions.- 208 replies

Disable the mod. Delete. Download and Enable the mod. Maybe something wasn't loading right. And to clarify surveillance flights and friendlies detected by surveillance are blue while members and other f18s are green. I wish I can get members to blue but from the way its coded it's not possible. Maybe I'll find a way.- 208 replies

I'm trying to figure out why people are having keybinding issues even though I didn't really touch anything keybinding related. Which keybinding are you having issues with?- 208 replies

Nope you're absolutely not being thicker than a whale sandwich. The quickfix was uploaded as part of the download just incase while I work on fixing the mod then the car accident happened. Forgot to upload the rest of the files. It should be uploaded now.- 208 replies

Patched to 2.5.2 for DTC update. Thanks for the report. Regarding JHMCS DCSBIOS bug report, I couldn't find the cause for the keybinding issues I've been hearing about. Still need to dig deeper since I'm not sure how DCSBIOS works.- 208 replies
